I think it sucks, just like Jon Clark and his shitty design company...Comment

No pun to Jon but the logo was taken off your site so it's not like he designed that (unless he did your site too). It was still worth $15 for animating that text imo...

15 $ for a animated gif button ????
..Fuck I'm really out of touch with the REAL world.
It's basically 1$per minute...15 minutes, it what it takes to "learn gif animator".
Really Nicky, you don't have the time to play around for a little while with a software?
You rather pay some guy to do it for you? Buy fish instead of learning to fish???
I'm not flaming/giving shit to the banner seller or buyer...
It's good money goes around and create wealth for everyone...
but still 15 $ for a button.....
Maybe 15 $ for a "very funny and inspired slogan{Branding} " gif or flash button...Divers Do It Deeper !!!Comment

Nice looking banner
That does not suck.
Too bad the guy you bought it from comes off as such a prick sometimes.
Congratulations to the winners

Looks fine for me and I can't see anything bad with $15 a button.Comment

I'm going to go on a limb here and say it's pretty weak.. It looks good because it's simple and has good color.. But the main graphic of the banner was pre-designed for him..
Your site has tons of great graphics on it and all he used was the logo..
He even used a poor choice in font selection also looks like he stretched some fonts out...
Also the animation could be tighter, quicker, more pop.. He's got the text fading in.. the logo doesn't.. it's just not smooth or interesting..
15 minutes would have been too long..
Doesn't really show any skills...Last edited by klaze; 09-01-2008, 10:41 PM.Comment

yup, and if you start breeding cows your steak will be much cheaper too, stick to what you're good at, it took me about 5 hours to make ONE button and that was the last time I played with graphics, on the other hand I can build 100 splogs with 100 posts each in a single dayComment

I think it's a very nice little button. Good work ;)Comment

He should have copied the style of the 50% and 40% for the banner to add design detail and branding..Comment
-
I think it was very well done. You are happy with it, it gets the message across, and you are not waiting around on the designer to get the product to you.
Definitely worth $15.
As far as majortom's comment is concerned, I have to ask, do you work for less than $1 a minute?Comment

Dude why are the graphics on your site saved out as GIFS???
Even the flash looks low res.. wtf??
Dude.. yer website would look a hell of a lot better saved out as high quality jpegs..
Absolutely no reason to save those graphics out so low quality. I use about 90% jpeg for everything..
GIFs are good for stuff that is low amount of detail and colors and a lot of text.. Makes text look sharp..
But you are using a lot of gradients and color variants..
I'd also have your designer clean up the site.. a bunch of lines just don't match up or look clean.. I dunno.. needs tightening up..Last edited by klaze; 09-01-2008, 10:51 PM.Comment

15$ for that banner is a good price.
Anyone who says otherwise obviously doesnt know shit about the biz.
If you pay less, you're either a) getting a really shitty design done or b) going to have to wait a damn long time before getting it.
For those who say he could have done better... well... lets see you make kickass banners for 15$ a pop. Once you realize it takes you 1 hour to create a really cool banner and that you end up only making 15$ an hour, you'll do exactly as John does, make it straightforward and elegant.
and LOL at ppl asking if he created the logo... camon, its 15$ guys...Last edited by NoWhErE; 09-01-2008, 11:12 PM.skype: lordofthecameltoeComment

Told you...
I got to get in touch with the real world...(see avatar name;)
This more what I meant, doesn't show any real (marketing) skills...just a sting of "classic webmasters call"..50% ..etc..
No Slogan, nothing out of the ordinary.
But As I think of it, it's not the banner designer job, it's the marketing campaign guy job.
Fuck, Fuck, Fuck reality hits again...I'm off topic...
I wish I could.
Yes I get often get trapped (but strangely satisfied) in that kinda experience...
I'm a sailor, I like to be able to repair everything myself on my boat.
I gotta learn more about the "delegation" thing...
I'm afraid so.Originally posted by Baddog
And in case you wonder what I'm doing. I own a Fisting BDSM Extreme Sex Paysite.
When I was only shooting content, "big sponsor" offered me only 1$/minute of video. I didn't take it. I made my own paysite.
I've been in contact with the American way of doing things {time is money} when I was a commercial deep sea diver...but then over 25 years in Asia are gone...And I'm still here.
Yes, 15$ is not much in America...Fuck, Fuck, Fuck...I'm going into the outsourcing thing...and I don't know shit...no matter it's GFY and people are kind and understanding.
What I wanted to say is that I have, right now, 2 European friends living here, who would gladly make a 100 $ a day to make 10 button and 10 640x70 banners...after I tough them the basics of gif animator. lol
Yes, I can here the comments, yep, they cannot cut it in they own country so bla bla..
It's not about that..
It's more like..here for 15$ I can get a girl for 24 hours....there a banner button....lol

Not bad at all.Comment

the banner is ok but i dont see why you would want that. you are running a program man, one that looks pretty nice. why put all that time and money into a program and then go cheap with subpar designs.
hire a real design company and grab some attention. leave the cheap shit for bloggers making a sale a day who cant afford a real design.Comment
-
is it worth $15 ? yes i suppose but kind of a waste because you didn't think far enough ahead.
I'm assuming the main reason you bought the banner was to get thread views using jon clarks name and thus some sig views to your program. but you forgot gfy's golden drama rule. More drama = More views = More gold. You bought a cheap banner that is basically worth what you paid for it. No op for drama = less comments = less views = less gold.
You should have overpaid for it and asked him to make you something that looked like a 4 year old did it in paintshop. Then the thread would have been filled with people laughing at jons shoddy overpriced work.hatisblack at yahoo.comComment

Nice clean button. Simple but effective animated text. I like it.

15 bucks is reasonable, but good god guys. The copy is so boring.
Why do most program ads look identical to each other? Do you not want any differentiation?
x$ for life
x%
great promo tools
x% WM ref

Do people really use a message board as a business model?
How many "views" will make all that "gold" on a message board? 2,000? 3,000? A good traffic site would get that in a few minutes. This is just a message board guys. Supposedly for other webmasters, but now filled with surfer trolls. And I doubt the trolls who sit here trying to learn our business vocabulary and making broad comments on the "industry" are ever gonna buy a membership to anything.
